JohnEast Leeds residents are being invited to explore some of the city’s best blossom spots.
Love Leeds Parks, in partnership with National Trust & Fruit Works, has launched this year’s “Leeds in Blossom” campaign.
Chloe Sykes, of Love Leeds Parks, said: “This year’s campaign focuses on engaging a broader audience of residents with blossom at community orchards across the city.
“We have produced a map of some of the best community orchard blossom hotspots and a programme of volunteer-led community events at Seacroft Forest Garden, Headingley Community Orchard, Meanwood Farm, Farsley Community Orchard and Drighlington Community Orchard.”
Details of events across the city can be found here.
Orchards in Harehills, Seacroft and Potternewton are included in the interactive blossom trail map, which people can follow:
Printed maps will be available in community hubs shortly.
